Hong-Kong

Pictures by QT Luong

Hong-Kong, the "city of life", designed and run by architects and entrepreneurs from around the world is a dense city of many cultures where you can find anything at anytime. It is one of the most crowded and diverse cities everywhere. It also has one of the most stunning urban landscapes in the world, especially at night where it blazes like a great flower of light with petals of neon. You can appreciate the scenery by to strolling the waterfront promendade in TST, or having a bird eye's view from Victoria Peak, but the quintessential Hong-Kong experence remains to cross the harbor on one of the Star Ferries. Aboard those little crafts which have been ploughing this short route, back and forth without even having to turn, night and day, for more than a century, watching your fellow regular passengers on the wooden sets, you get the feeling to be at a place where modern empires are shifting.
